A Great Life After Beacon

We love our alumni and stay in touch with them long after they graduate from our school. There is a sense of pride, loyalty, and camaraderie that is nurtured and celebrated in person, over the phone and online many times a year. We host several gatherings, including a summer day trip to Martha’s Vineyard, Homecoming, and a Holiday Party. We send care packages and attend games and performances. To support their academic growth, we offer college visits and advising, essay writing workshops and SAT classes. Alumni are encouraged to drop in whenever they can to encourage and guide the new students and to share their stories with us.
